Can you imagine what would happen if a gang of angry male Christian activists started shouting down and shoving around some nice old lesbian during a religious rally right after ripping her rainbow pride flag from her hands and waffle stomping it?

How much television coverage do you think that spat of stupidity would spawn? What kind of outrage do you think the gays would gin up over such an inexcusable and pathetic act?

I’ll tell you what would happen: We would see an irate Elton John hold a special Candle in the Wind concert on the old lesbian’s behalf, Lance Bass would host a telethon, Ellen would weep, Brad and Angelina would adopt another baby and Rosie would shave the right side of her head again and again until justice was served and those chunks of corn were convicted and sent to prison.

You and I both know we’d never hear the end of it, and you know what? We shouldn’t because that kind stupid, out-of-whack bullying is bull.

What about this scenario?

Say some dyed-in-the-wool, belligerent backwoods snake handlers sporting crosses, vicious anti-gay fliers and blarin’ Dueling Banjos on a boom box infiltrated a gay soiree, disrupted the event, disbursed their literature into the crowd, performed some hetero sex acts and then threatened those in attendance? Do you think the gay bloggers would blog it and the MSM report on it and both sectors call for the rednecks’ necks?

Fo’ shizzle my nizzle they would.

Indulge me one more scenario: Would it be cool if a conservative Christian talk show host called for the death of some gay dude named Joe who simply campaigned for a month for president elect Barack Obama? Would that be cool? You and I both know the answer to that question would be “H” to the no—it would not be cool. That guy would be Imus’ed so fast his head would spin. His days of talk radio would be over.

The above three supposed scenes would be publically condemned, the perps would be captured, convicted and imprisoned, their names would become proverbs for our populace, and the nation would be put on notice that if Christians take their disagreements with homosexuality to belligerent, disruptive and life-threatening levels that their butts will be imprisoned.

It seems as of late, however, that gays can do the above junk to Christians and get a pass from certain cops and the mainstream media.

I wonder why the homosexual crowd isn't breaking in to Mosques and interfering with prayers. After all the Muslims would not only deny a homosexual the right to get married but the right to live as well. I guess having a reputation that involves removing someone’s head from the rest of the body buys that group a bit of leeway. I'd rather interfere with a religion of passivity than a religion of decapitation.

I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.

You have a good point about Islam's treatment of homosexuals, but I doubt that many Islamic organizations were politically or financially involved in Prop. 8. Not because they disagree with it, but more because they spend their money on other things.

I actually support gay marriage rights, but I question the logic of the radical protestors. Do they really think that any of this is helping their cause? Picketing churches and picking on little old ladies? Those tactics are not going to win anyone over to their cause.

I suspect these protestors figure that they're never going to get what they want, so they might as well be obnoxious to everyone for the rest of their lives.

Gun Control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound - Unknown

I doubt it.... If Muslims were major group responsible then I would think they would protest them. All the animosity towards Christians, isnt simply because people decided not to like Christians one day for no reason... it's because they are a HUGE political force... often in support of boneheaded actions and decisions for boneheaded reasons.

Organized action from the LDS church was the primary culprit in shooting down gay marriage... both by spending millions to increase voter turn out and by even getting the measures on the ballot in the first place. If Mulsims had done the same, I'm sure there would be plenty of backlash pointed in their direction. They simply arent a meaningful political force in this country.

And I don't disagree that some of the dominionists are out of control. It's just that there is no dissent in Muslim dominated countries for theological law.
I guess for me it's that Christians today don't tend to cut your head off and put it in a bowling bag if you don't like their stance on marriage or pornography.

Please elaborate on what boneheaded actions and what boneheaded reaons for the actions. Wouldn't bone headed actions include establishing a special status for a selected or providing greater legal protection under the law for a group or group(s) of individuals.

Could it be that some action seem boneheaded because you don't agree with them?

It always cracks me up when I see gays coming out in support of palestine and other groups that would KILL THEM for being homosexuals on site - and against Israel where they are embraced - not just tolerated - embraced. MORONS.
